Question

How do you solve the equation `(n-3)/8=20`?

Answer 1

`163`

Explanation:

First, we multiply each side by `8`.
`(n-3)/8=20`

`(color(blue)8(n-3))/8=20color(blue)*color(blue)8`

Then, we simplify it to be
`n-3=160`

Add `3` to both sides.
`n-3color(blue)+color(blue)3=160color(blue)+color(blue)3`

Simplify.
`n=163`
